Correction: Track 24 is a recently recorded audio track.

While I am a longtime user of Cakewalk, I'm still kinda new to X2 Producer. I can't seem to find out what the numbers that are displayed in the track view are. They don't appear until play or record starts. All tracks are MIDI and there is no SysEx or controller changes in the code. Anybody...

Triumph deluxe. With the upgrades described, I was able to record live guitar into a project with 16 MIDI tracks, driving 10 soft-synths and latency was undetectable. No idea which of the several upgrades did the trick, but everything seems to be working as advertised now. I have some...

The keyboard is a Cakewalk A-500 and does not produce audio. Only MIDI which I use to drive soft-synths in Sonar. Not sure about MixControl as it was not included with the 2i4 2nd Gen. I used it with the 8i6 but found it extremely difficult to understand. Guess I just needed to find a good...

PS: The new 2nd Generation Scarlett 2i4 does not seem to include MixControl.

Thanks again everybody for the replies. Will be trying out my new upgrades tonight. Memory now 32gb. 2nd Generation Scarlett installed. Never used ASIO4ALL. Will also disable internet access and shut down Norton anti-virus. Also plan to do some more reading in Scott's X2 Power book. Maybe...

Steenamaroo - Thanks again for your reply and your interest. The latency is definitely audio as it happens with anything plugged into the Scarlett. Guitar, mic, etc. I do probably have background stuff going as this is a stock PC from Dell with Norton Security added. I hate to disable Norton...

Thanks for the reply Steenamaroo, Actually I do not use any effects at all. Reverb and delay are external boxes between mic and Scarlett or guitar. I also have spent much time tweaking buffer size and cannot find middle ground. When the buffer size is set for acceptable latency, I get static...

I bought the Scarlett 8i6 because Cakewalk Tech Support said it was the only interface that they recommend. I like the sound quality but not the need for an external power supply. So I'll probably replace it anyway. The new Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) has good reviews on Guitar Center website so...

Yes. Input latency is my problem. Playing a soft-synth via the Cakewalk A-100 keyboard results in a slight delay before I hear the tone from a keypress. I am not skilled enough to be able to play that way. I am using MixControl but admit I don't know what I'm doing. I am lucky if I even get...

This is not a rant or list of complaints. Just a plea for help. I'll try to summarize. I've been using Cakewalk since 1990 (DOS version) and have upgraded pretty much every other release. I had some success with computer based recording with Cakewalk Pro Audio-9 many years ago but was never...

I definitely identify with this issue. For several years I used Cakewalk / Sonar to build my backing tracks. Using a Tascam 2488, I was able to record each MIDI instrument one at a time to discrete recorder tracks. That way I had complete flexibility at final mixdown. The only way that...

I am getting ready to mix a choral arrangement that consists of 32 vocal tracks. 11 of my children and grand-children, 3 tracks each. The tracks are 4 parts, SATB so I can put them anywhere in the stereo spectrum but am wondering how to get the fullest sound. Should I keep each of the parts...

DP-24 Bounce quit working - SOLVED Nothing wrong with my DP-24. Turns out the manual is incorrect. Page 53, Step 3 of the Bouncing Tracks function, states "Press the SELECT button to specify the bounce destination". Well, that doesn't work. You have to select the "source" tracks not the...

More clues. Doing a Master Mix-down doesn't work either. I am trying to bounce or mix 6 mono tracks down to a stereo pair. The only thing unusual about the tracks is that they were recorded on a DP-008EX then edited with Cool Edit 2000 to raise the volume. Tracks were then Imported into the...
